Notes

I've spent too long thinking about my water chemistry lately. Where's the fun? So... the antithesis to all brews that precede: "water taken straight from a mountain stream". How bad can it be?

The malts and hops are chosen just to use up what I have left over.

This has been fun!

Update: 46 days later....
"Neurum Creek Whimsical" is a really nice lager-beer. It has a lovely rich amber colour, is as crystal clear as the water that made it, has a well balanced malty taste and subtle hop aroma. No perception of bitterness. Very fresh... very drinkable.

All that said, Julie still won't drink it for fear of there being a dead sheep upstream...
